His list of publications includes over 350 works, and he has supervised 120 PhD candidates.

Professor Faure received the honorary medal from Dean Jan Smits. “During his 34 years at Maastricht University Michael made a profound and lasting impact, on the Faculty of Law, on his academic fields of environmental law, law and economics and liability law, on academic cooperation, but most importantly, on people, on everyone he worked with: his many PhD-researchers and colleagues in Maastricht and Rotterdam, but also much broader throughout Europe and the world. I wholeheartedly compliment Michael with his many achievements,” said the Dean of the Faculty of Law.
